Special Events in Cape Town
With more than 350 major events taking place each year and scores of community festivals filling an already crammed-to-the-hilt events calendar which irresistibly entices event goers, Cape Town and the Western Cape is a destination to be reckoned with!
Outstandingly beautiful Western Cape province with its world renowned natural attractions like iconic Table Mountain, the ancient stalagmite formations of the Cango Caves - a 4 500 million year old natural wonder of the world, Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years, Cape Agulhas meeting place of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, combines to present the perfect backdrop and platform for hosting every type of event.
Here where the Southern Right Whale frolics in coves along the coasts of the Overberg, attend the Hermanus Whale Festival and loose your heart to the gentle giants of the ocean. Down oysters and champagne at the Knysna Oyster Festival in the Garden Route & Klein Karoo, then dance away the calories at the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival. Ready for some action? Go for gold, push your endurance to the limit and participate in the world's largest individually timed cycle race, the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour. Then swap your bicycle for trainers and take on the world's most beautiful marathon, the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon. And when you're finally done exerting yourself, soothe your soul and rediscover your rhythm at Africa's Grandest Gathering, the Cape Town International Jazz Festival.
